Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain continues to make a strong impression in the Big Bash League, earning praise from Hobart Hurricanes captain Nathan Ellis after another impactful outing against Adelaide Strikers at Bellerive Oval on Friday.<\/p>\n
Rishad returned figures of 3 for 26, playing a decisive role in Hobart\u2019s 37-run win, helping them strengthen their position at the top of the table.<\/p>\n
With this performance, the 23-year-old has now taken 11 wickets in eight matches in his debut BBL season.<\/p>\n
Ellis highlighted Rishad\u2019s composure and fearlessness, particularly when being asked to come and bowl with a shorter boundary on one side.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a short side here tonight and Rishad took it with both hands with a smile on his face. As a captain, it\u2019s very pleasing,\u201d Ellis said after the match.<\/p>\n
The Hobart captain termed Rishad \u2018world class\u2019 and was also glad that the leg-spinner will be with the side for the entire season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to give credit to our spinners again; they [Rishad and Rehan Ahmed] have been brilliant for us this year. They are both world-class. We lose Rehan at the back end, but we have Rishad for the tournament, which is good.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain continues to make a strong impression in the Big Bash League, earning praise from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":363395,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[139081,139087,1721,139082,139086,139084,139083,139080,139079,139088,139085,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-363394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-bangladesh-leg-spinner-rishad-hossain","tag-bbl-bangladesh-player-performance","tag-cricket","tag-hobart-hurricanes-rishad","tag-hobart-hurricanes-vs-adelaide-strikers","tag-nathan-ellis-praises-rishad","tag-rishad-hossain-3-for-26","tag-rishad-hossain-bbl-wickets","tag-rishad-hossain-big-bash-league","tag-rishad-hossain-debut-bbl-season","tag-rishad-hossain-world-class","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=363394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363394\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/363395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=363394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=363394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
